How do I get rid of this ANNOYING box on the top of my screen, anytime I drag anything in windows 11, which tries to make it split screen or to my second monitor.
If I want to move it to another monitor, I will drag it there, but it keeps taking things to the wrong screen or making multiple windows.
I do NOT want this on my windows screen, I keep accidently dragging things onto it and its wasting time correcting.
I want to clarify-- ALL SNAP features are OFF, all selections are unchecked, snap is off..
but it's still there.. it is NOT a snap feature, I do not have the snap bar up top.
I have a White Box that opens in the Top Middle of my screen which shows a split screen on one half and my second monitor on the other.
How do I disable this? For over a year now this has been causing my problems with no solution online other than turn SNAP off... Snap features are all off.

Hi,
Thanks for the update, May I ask, Which GPU or graphics driver do you have-Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD-as integrated Intel graphics can sometimes cause this even on systems with another GPU? Do you have any monitor management software installed, like Dell Display Manager, HP Display Assistant, or LG OnScreen Control, that might add window overlays? And does the white box appear on all monitors or just your main one, and only when dragging windows or even at other times?
Regards,
Hi Randy, thanks for taking the time in trying to help.
I use have the Nvidia RTX 4090, with the Nvidia app, current driver is 581.57 (although this has always been a problem through many driver changes).
I do not use any integrated graphics, this is on a desktop.
I also do not use any monitor management software, so nothing is adding an overlay. Completely exiting all Nvidia software, does not affect the appearance.
I actually have the computer connected to a Phillips HD Tv, and I do get the exact same box on the TV screen, I am using extended view, not mirror.
The box in the image appears anytime I select an application, be it google chrome, or a windows application such as File Manager.
It ONLY appears when selecting, and then actually 'dragging'.
Thanks again, any suggestions are very much appreciated.
While probably irrelevant, my main monitor is the Odyssey G8.

I found the comment about looking for 3rd party software helpful as changing the "Snap Windows" settings in Multitasking didn't work for me. In my case it's something called UltraMon that was adding these buttons at the top of every window:
Opened UltraMon from the hidden icons in the taskbar then Options->Button and Menu Commands, then unchecking the 'add Move Window Button' and 'add Maximize to Desktop button' got rid of those annoying controls at the top of every window.
